Visa requirements for Romanian citizens

I happen to gainsay you in the "undoing" of the article aforementioned (in the title) on the basis of a few divergent rationales. Initially, your opposing piece of (altercation) is not worthy of Wikipedia. By this, I mean to say that others' hard work SHOULD be sacrificed for the better of Wikipedia and the unification of articles on similar topics. That is why I have come here: to prevent an edit war: why should the format have to be so perplexing and hard to navigate when it can be significantly more similar. About others work: at the time, if they did less than competent work (even if it was hard), it should be omitted if obsolete. Why, take a gander at the other Wikipedia articles on visa requirements. You can see that they all look the same except for the old version of this one before I edited it! Let us help get Wikipedia farther; NOT keeping it out of date because some people worked so much/hard on it! There will always be a case like that. Sometimes, you must sacrifice it however. Know what's worth trading. Whatshouldichoose (talk) 15:04, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but you want to downgrade the page to a less information one. You do not prevent an edit war, you started one, by being the only one who keeps reverting the page to a format of your liking. This format is easy for everyone, except yourself. It is not out of date, is has more information than you want it to have. Again, I'm sorry that you are the only one, but since you came here, you started an edit war by repeated changes.Laurentiu Popa (talk) 15:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, everyone was fine with my edits until you came along. It is not a less informational one. Please look at the other Wikipedia pages on visa requirements. Assimilation is what it is called. My format is like the others. Why do you want this page to stand out in a negative way? If you can, please organize it in a proper way. However, since you are not capable of doing that from what I've seen so far, allow others. No, I am not downgrading the page at all. You might as well call the others on the same topic "downgraded". You continued that edit war unlike User:Twofortnights. Look who is talking now. Whatshouldichoose (talk) 15:29, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the history of this page. I started editing it in 2011, you came along in 2015. So, "everyone was fine with my edits until you came along" it's a lie. I looked at the other Wiki pages and have fewer info than this one. You are really the only one who keeps on reverting it. You cannot just say that your way os "the" way because you like it. Yes, I am not capable of downgrading a page, I see you are. Dude, cool down. Laurentiu Popa (talk) 15:36, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to United States dollar, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability and the content has been removed. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -MBK₀₀₄ 21:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to United States dollar. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -MBK₀₀₄ 23:40, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pound sterling

Hi. What would you say the flags add to this article? You may wish to read WP:FLAGS which describes how we do and don't use flags here. --John (talk) 15:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there. I considered that it's best to visualize the name of a country or region in a list by adding its flag. I saw most of the currencies pages have flag on the country name in the user's field. Because not all did so, I placed the flags on the remaining currencies. If this is an issue, than can an administrator decide if it's suitable or not to place the country/territory's flag in this case?--User:Laurentiu Popa (talk) 16:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an administrator and I don't think the flags add anything to the article, which was why I removed them along with the other copyedits I made. Do you think most of our readers are able to visualize these countries more easily by adding their flags? How many people will instantly know the flag of the Falkland Islands for example? I believe (and policy backs me up) that as our readers can read, having the name of the country in text is simpler and adding multiple flag icons just adds clutter, without adding any utility. --John (talk) 16:48, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this is coming from an administrator and policy sustains it, then it's ok. I'm not the guy to change the rules. I believe this represents your aproval for deleting the flags in this particular field. As I told you, I placed the flags on some currencies, therefore I'll delete them on every currency. If anyone shall argue why, I'll send them to you. Guess it's ok. --User:Laurentiu Popa (talk) 16:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Somali Shilling

Yes, I'm sure the Somali shilling is the official currency in Somalia, and not the Kenyan shilling (!) or the Euro. I'm sure you meant well with your edits, but they're just plain wrong and this is why I reverted them. Middayexpress (talk) 20:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't do vandalism. My idea is this one: of course the Somali shilling is the official currency in Somalia, no argue about that. Unofficialy, the Kenyan shilling and the Euro are accepted. This info is stated at the top of the Kenyan shilling page. I just mentioned these details in the box. Also, in unrecognized Somaliland, the Somaliland shilling is the official currency. Please tell me what solution do you see. User:Laurentiu Popa (talk) 12:02, 14 April 2009 (GMT)

No one said you "did vandalism". But still, thank you for alerting me to that false information on the Kenyan shilling page; it has now been removed. What's most amusing about it is that the situation is, in fact, the other way around: It's the Somali shilling, despite Somalia being caught up in a civil war, that's still being used as the default currency of exchange in trade with Kenya (as it was prior to the civil war, by the way). And the Somaliland shilling is only legal tender in that unrecognized region of Somalia, nowhere else. I could print money today in my basement and claim it to be legal tender, but that still won't make it so unless the government where I live as well as other nations choose to recognize it. Cheerio! Middayexpress (talk) 23:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearing this issue. I guess the problem is solved now. :D User:Laurentiu Popa (talk) 13:24, 15 April 2009 (GMT)

International recognition of Kosovo

Please, stop messing with the order of the recognizing states. They are ordered by the actual time of recognition, such as could been determined from media reports coming up at the time (which by the way means that the order in the article preserves interesting historical information, often hard to find in another way in retrospect). You seem to operate under some strange hypothesis that when a country recognizes Kosovo, it always does it at midnight (or another fixed time?) of its local time. That is utter nonsense. The actual times of recognition vary wildly, a government is free to issue a recognition declaration at any time it pleases (usually during its working hours, though, for obvious reasons). —Emil J. 16:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Airport destination maps

Please note that it is not allowed to create destination maps in airports articles for airports that have fewer than 10 destinations. It doesn't make sense to show a map with lets say three destinations as you added. --84.156.21.247 (talk) 18:41, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of airlines

Thanks for your contribution to airline articles but I have removed your addition of Template:List of airlines in Europe and Template:List of airlines to some of the articles as it is not normally used on airline article. These templates are normaly used on articles that are lists of airlines. At the bottom of the airline article is a "lists relating to aviation" which has a link to List of airlines. If you have any questions then please leave a message at WT:AIRLINE, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 16:48, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that you are still adding Template:List of airlines in Europe and Template:List of airlines to articles, can you please note that we do not normally use them on airline articles so can I ask that you stop and discuss this please, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 12:37, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So, on the airline page should be a box only to the country's list of airlines?

Yes that is what we normally do. MilborneOne (talk) 13:33, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have another question. Please tell me if in the page of an airline belonging to an unrecognized state (Kosovo, Nagorno Karabakh or Northern Cyprus), there should be a box to the claimant country (Serbia, Azerbaijan and Cyprus)? Also, in the page of the airlines of those claimant countries there should be a box of the unrecognized states?

That is a good question I dont know the answer but I will ask at the airline project for opinions and let you know.MilborneOne (talk) 13:43, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have raised it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines#Airline of Foo navigation box to get the opinion of others working on airline articles, your welcome to comment on that talk page as well. MilborneOne (talk) 13:50, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Revert

Hello. I noticed you reverted my edit on Henri Coandă International Airport. Just thought I would htell you that the reason why I did that is because about 95% of the Pages for Airports for Wikipedia have all airlines in one table, no matter if they are scheduled or charter (not including cargo). These include pages such as Manchester Airport, Málaga Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport. I think it is better if all airport pages were the same as it makes readers get used to the style and also prevents users putting the data in the wrong section. I have done that a few times myself I'm embarrassed to say :) Anyways hope you understand the reason and keep up the good work :) Thanks --MKY661 (talk) 00:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC) :)[reply]

Thank you for your sharing your reason. I believe it makes sense to keep the charter flights separated as the travellers cannot make reservations, therefore travel planning can go wrong. Although, the list of dstinations of an airport (especially those holiday locations) might be inflated by seasonal charters. Plus, in some cases (obscure travel agents with no website, small airports with obsolete info marketed as current and not edited in years, small airlines who inflate their routemap with past charter flights who landed only once in a specific airport...) those data cannot be verified. In the case of small airports, some mention a bunch of airlines with charter flights in their presentations, but in fact those companies had 1-2 flights few years ago and not likely to came back the current year, or at least the following 5 years or so. SOme travel agents announce charters in the first months of the year, than never retract the info if there were not enough holidays booked on that destination and the marketed charter flights was canceled or postponed for th following year. In order to keep a real list of destinations, users can check the scheduled ones (verifiable on the airlines' websites, bookable) in a table and the charter flights (not always mentioned in reliable sources, not verifiable on airlines' websites, with dates that can change from a day to another and most of all: not bookable) in a separate table. Some users include here rumoured destinations, some unconfirmed stories about planes saw in an airport, holiday memories of some who don't remember quite well the airline the have flown with. Also, on the destination maps, charter appear with a green dot, a colour of their own, and with italic font in order to separate them from confirmed routes. As for puttg the data in the wrong table, there are many people who watch airports pages and correct misplaced info or rumoured informations edited as official. As I've seen so far of wikipedia, the info on charter flights change rapidly, with a rate faster than scheduled flights and arguments often arise. A single table had switched back and forth during a single day, with addings and reverts. Meanwhile, the scheduled destinations remained untouched. These are the reasons for separating scheduled flights from charter ones. --User:Laurentiu Popa (talk) 01:06, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to results tables

Hello Laurentiu. I'm a bit concerned by some of your edits to election results tables such as this one in which you swap the figures for total votes cast and registered voters, and this one in which you make the same mistake, and also change the number of votes received by the front despite the table being sourced to a specific book that does not match the figures you have added.

Policy maps for Romanian citizens

Salut, could you perhaps take a look into the visa policy maps for Romanians? It contains a couple of errors, for example:

Romanians do not require a passport for Greenland and Iceland (but can use ID cards).
Romanians now get visa on arrival in Malawi and Burundi.
Romanians do not need a visa for Sao tome and Principe or Indonesia. André Devecserii (talk) 06:12, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I looked into Greenland and Iceland, so far. For Greenland, passport is required as proof of identity for non-Schengen citizens. On Iceland, indeed, passport is no longer required (as of some years ago), I've found a link on an official site that confirms it. On other countries, I haven't look so far. I've just did the research while at work :)

I see on Sao Tome and Indonesia is already stated "visa-free" and in Malawi is already stated "visa-on-arrival". In Burundi, as far as I know, the situation changed dramatically the past year, as the country is in some political crisis. Data unsure... as of most African countries, changes are without further notice or official online announcements. By the way, thanks for the info!

"For Greenland, passport is required as proof of identity for non-Schengen citizens".

False, I asked Air Greenland and they say any EU/EFTA citizen may use an ID card. It also says on their website "An ID card authorised by the European Schengen Information System". SIS-approved ID cards are not limited to those of countries in the Schengen area, but include those of all EU/EFTA countries.

Actually, by law, only Nordic citizens can use ID cards, however this is a purely academic point, because there is no passport control when entering/exiting Greenland so it is really up to the airline in practice, and their rules are that any EU/EFTA ID card is accepted. André Devecserii (talk) 14:47, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but on the Greenland government site it states "A citizen from a country which is not joined in the above-mentioned agreements must present their passports and sometimes also a visa". So, whom should we believe? Links provided in visa requirements wiki page.

Romanian map

Hi,

I was wondering if you could make some small amendments to the Romanian citizens visa requirements map?

Thanks!--Twofortnights (talk) 21:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sure! But Palau remains blue, because the departure tax is applied no matter where the foreigner exits the country. In Samoa or Sao Tome you can avoid the departure tax by leaving by boat, but in Palau you cannot avoid the tax.

Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You are way past 3RR in this, and so is the other editor. You both must stop. LjL (talk) 21:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Roads in Romania, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Petea (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:15, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion of Template:Transport in Alexandria etc

Template:Transport in Alexandria and more than 50 similar templates created by you have been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:06, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Laurentiu Popa: I see that you have continued to create similar templates while the deletion discussion is underway:

Template:Transport in Miercurea Ciuc (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Transport in Târgu Mureș (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Transport in Cluj-Napoca (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I have added those 3 to the deletion discussion, and will add any others which you create.

Instead of creating more pages for deletion, it would be much better for you to join in the deletion discussion, and explain why you think these templates are appropriate. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:17, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I decline your invitation. It's nothing personal, it's just that my patience with people who "know better" has been depleted. Do as you see fit. I will not stand in your way, even if you would like to delete everything on wikipedia. If you have reasons to believe that you are doing a great job and that your deletion is useful to someone, do what makes you feel better. There are also other articles that I've edited or created, you may search them and delete those too. If you have dificulties in finding them, I may point them out for you. If this makes you feel that by deleting you're helping, I'll support you. Perhaps I didn't get the point of wikipedia and I got it all wrong. I'm not too bright, this is why I'm reading stuff here. It's always a pleasure to chat with someone smarter. Many thanks for this enlightening conversation! I'll think about what you said and I'm already considering deleting posts from my blog. You gave my life a purpose. I'm in your debt! Laurentiu Popa (talk) 11:52, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BrownHairedGirl did not delete anything. She proposed for deletion. What you created will only be deleted if there is consensus to delete. Do you believe in democracy? It seems to me that you are the one who thinks they "know better". So you "know better" than an admin with more than 750,000 edits? So you "know better" than multiple editors who are voting to delete? Wikipedia is a team work. I don't know how old you are, but with this kind of attitude you will have problems at your company and in life in general. I urge you to change your attitude and come back to editing Wikipedia in collaboration with everyone else. You will discover that you learn from others as much as you learn from the articles. Wikipedia is a reflection of society and the real world. You will not get far unless you can work with others and convince them of your point of view. Take care Tradedia^talk 22:23, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind thoughts, but we'll go on separate ways. I'll just do the reading, other people will do the editing.Laurentiu Popa (talk) 10:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
